Employee Handbook Generator UK 2026

The problem: every UK employer needs updated policies, now

The Employment Rights Act 2025 makes every existing UK employee handbook outdated. Day-one unfair dismissal protection, mandatory harassment prevention duties, zero-hours contract reforms, and new flexible working rights all require policy updates. HR consultancies charge £500-2,000+ for a bespoke handbook. Most small businesses are still running on a template they found online in 2019.

• 5.5 million UK businesses need updated workplace policies following ERA 2025
• No anti-harassment prevention policy exposes you to the new mandatory duty
• Outdated disciplinary procedures that don't follow the ACAS Code risk tribunal exposure
• Paying £500+ to an HR consultant for a document that takes us minutes

All 20 policy areas covered

• Employment terms, contracts, probation, notice, statement of particulars
• Working hours, flexible working (day-one right under ERA 2025)
• Holiday and leave entitlements
• Sickness absence and Statutory Sick Pay

Industry-specific tailoring

The tool adapts the handbook to your industry. Construction sites have different health and safety obligations to office environments. Hospitality has specific rules on tips and zero-hours contracts. Healthcare requires additional safeguarding and confidentiality clauses. Retail and creative agencies have distinct working pattern considerations.

Specify your industry and headcount, micro (under 10), small (10-49), medium (50-249), or large, and the handbook scales appropriately in formality, structure, and the policies included.
